Far too early on a terrible Saturday morning, runners gathered at Cooper Elementary to run what is by far the Worst Race Ever. The course was littered with bats (baseball), minefields, 2 directional options, and even a life guard. As participants were shuttled on party busses back to their cars they realized they had just done the best, Worst Race Ever.
